► Q2: Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
Scripture Union Daily Guide 3rd February 2025 Outline
Read Matthew 9:27-28 again. Identify the issue and the steps the victims took to resolve it. What challenges are you currently facing? You too can take this to Jesus. He will help you (Matthew 9:29-30). Why would the Lord order these men not to tell anyone (Matthew 9:31)? But they did. He tells us now to tell everyone about Him (read Matthew 28:18-20). Are you obedient?
Notice in Matthew 9:35 Jesus’s response to the Pharisees’ insinuations in Matthew 9:34. Instead of spending all our time ruminating on people’s subjective comments about us, let us just move on with the work (cf. 1 Peter 2:23). An adage states, “If you stop every time a dog barks, your journey will never end.” We must not allow others to be our roadblocks but rather make them our building blocks.
Read Matthew 9:35-38 (cf. Isaiah 61:1-3) and note again that mission involves meeting physical or material needs (Matthew 9:27-34) as well as a compassionate response to spiritual needs (Matthew 9:36). Does Matthew 9:37 challenge you to pursue mission? Remember, God is looking not for our ability but for our availability. So, let us obey the instruction in Matthew 9:38, even as we also make ourselves available for the harvest.
And So:
Lord, here am I, send me.
